Death of An Aged Lady.
Died, on Tuesday morning, Mrs.
Katherine Dunbar, at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. S-'A. Morrall.
The remains will be interred this
afternoon at Millet', S. C. the
lifr-long home of the deceased.
This aged and very gracious
lady, who was a descendant of an
old South Carolina family des
tingulshed for its superior culture,
refinement and sterling qualities
of mind and heart, passed most
of her pilgrimage of 7S years at
Millett, having come to Edg'efield
not many months ago. She was a
devoted member of Steel Creek
Baptist church, one of the oldest
in the state.
Before her marriage, Mrs. Dun
bar was Miss Katherine Jobn.3on-,
a daughter of t^e Rev. Dr. W. S.
Johnson, a Baptist minister, who
was buried at Sweet Water church,
in this county. To one who has
served the Master so faithfull}',
so devotedly, aud throughout co
long a term of years death has no
sting-"Blessed are the dead who
die in the Lord".

Light Dragoons Disbanded.
Since the inFp?ction some weekp,
ago, orderB from the office of the
Adjutant and Inspector Genend
that would determine the fate of
Edgefield's two cavalry companies,
the Hussars and Dragoons, have
been eagerly awaited. \VhiJe some
doubt was entertained as to wheth
er, under the very rigid Dick law.
these companies would be retain
ed as a part of tha state malitia,
yet it was the universal desire
that they would not bedi9banded.
The suspense has been euded by
an order issued on Friday last to
the effect that troop B of ? Edg-?
field which we understand lo
mean the Light Dragoons, ha6
ueen disbanded, and troop A, the
Hussars, has been placed upon the
reserve list the status and equip
ment of which will be defined by
subsequent orders. We have been
unable to interview Capt. Juo. R.

Senator B. R. Tillman Hurt.
At the close of the graduating
exercises at the college on Wed
nesday evening last Senator Till
man, Misses Lona, Sophia and
Annie Mr.y Tillman, and the dri
ver, entered their carriage to re
turn to their home at Trenton.
The driver was not familiar with
the entrance from the street to
the college grounds and instead of
crossing the bridge that loads to
the 6treet he turned too short,
driviug down an embankment
that is five or six feet high. The
vehicle was overturned and the
inmates were thrown violently
to the ground.' Fortunately* no
one received any serious injury.
Senator Tillman received two
severe cuts across the forehead
and head, and Miss Lona Tillman
received several .flight bruises,
while the ot'iers escaped unbann
ed. To stand and view the precipi
tjus embankment ivor which the
carriage was driven the wonder is
that the results were not very se
rious.
Senator Tillman was carried
immediately tu the office of Drs.
Tompkins (fe Marsh who carefully
dressed his wounds. From the
office he drove to Trenton that
night.The unfortunate occurrence
?B generally regretted, while lhere
is very great rejoicing that tho
consequences were not more se
rious.

Closing Features of Commencem B^I
We regret excae dingly that.Wf'
have not space to write, at length
of the closing features of tbr
coraineuc?'n)eilt of last week. The
recital nit Tu-'sday evi ni ng by Iht
elocution class reflected great
; credit upon the gifted teacher,
Miss Nickle?,.and the fair young
participant.-.
The meeting ol' the association
of graduate? held on Wednesday
morning was very enjoyable^ Rev.
L. B. White was too sick to be
present to deliver his excellent
address, hence it was read by Mr.
T. C. Call ison. The essay by MibS
Louise McKnight, elicited much
favorable comment.
Avery delightful feature was
the levee of the art department
which is presidi d over with such
a high degree ofefliciency by Miss
Eliza Minis. The handiwork io
crayon, oil and water, colors of
the dozen pupils was displayed-in
the art room. All showed that the
pupils are being carefully taught
and are making rapid progress.
Tho graduating exercises on
Wednesday evening we're very in
teresting. Only two of the class
took part in the exercises-Miss
Madge Mays as salutatorian and
Mr. P. H. Bussey as "valedictorian."
Senator B.. R. Tillman and Hon;
J. C. Sheppard delivered charac
teiistic addresses, the latter pre
senting tlvi diplomas.
The A. B. graduates were : Miss
Madge Mays, Messrs. Gus Merri
man, Joe and E.'more Ashley. The
B. E. graduates were : Misses Mat
tie Minis, Jennie Pattison, Lucile
Sheppard, Marie Tompkins, Edith
Walker and P. H. Bussey, Jr.

ates in Book keepings Miss Bes

The banquet given by the asso
ciation of graduates in the large
and very taslcfully decorated
dining room ol tho college was.a
fitting close to the commencement
exercises: Ninety covers were laid
upon (he long tables that were so
bountifully supplied with tempt

pily responded to. Capt. R. B.

APPROPRIATE RESOLUTIONS
Passed'by the Members of the
Edgefield Light Dragoons Upon
the Death of Their Comrade.
Whereas death has claimed an
other member of our company jn
the person of E. L. Stevens, who
bas for years* served the company
faithfully in the capacity of treas
urer, an d'who has always hy his
noble conduct inspired in his
brother members kinder regards
for each other and a sincere re
spect and esteem for himself. 'And
whereas, it is fit that, w;e should
give expression to our apprecia
tion of his life and character and
to our sense of loss and bereave^
ment at his death :
Now, he it rosolved, 1st. That
in E. L. Stevens the Edgefield
Light Dragoons had a faithful anrl
efficient member and officer. That
in him I he mern bet s of our com
pany had a warm and affectionate
friend, ever ready to help them by
word or deed in tho quiet and un
assuming way that characterized
bim. Tnat in him Edgefield coun
ty had a true and sterling citizen
exemplifying iu his life the quali
ties that just'y endeared him to
his friends and relatives,
2nd. That in his death our com
pany has sustained an irreparable)
loss, but that the memory of his
life and character will abide with
us forever as an incentive to
higher and truer living, and that
the modest manliness of his char
acter will leave its impress on the
hearls of all who knew and loved
him.
Sid. Thatacopyof these reso
lutions be inscribed in the minutes
of the company, that, a copy be
forwarded to Mrs. E. L. Stevens,
as a testimonial of our sincero and
heartfelt sympathy, and that a
copy be furnished the county
papers for publication.

The Polymnia Trioi
Several mouths have elapsed
since an entertainment has been

tilo aud gifted artists, will appear

Pains, aches and rheu

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

they had heart trouble, because the heart ls
